I've actually not run in to a lot of "default assets = bad" mindsets here on itch.io, pretty much everyone has been very supportive and any criticism I do receive has been mature and constructive. People here are chill, which is why I love it here. ^^
Thank you for your kind words, I am trying to focus on making sure the game is how I want it and not how everyone else wants it. As long as I'm happy with it, the right audience will show up. Its just a matter of getting those thoughts to match up with my feelings. ^^;
